Real-life Dual-Task Training for Older Adults at Risk to Fall: A Pilot Clinical Trial (REAL-DTT)
Older adults have difficulty optimizing two tasks at once and typically experience greater interference than younger adults when dual-tasking, meaning that there is greater decline in performance of at least one task when comparing single and dual-tasking. Difficulty dual-tasking may actually predict falls in community-dwelling older adults. Dual-task training has been shown to improve cognitive outcomes (attention, memory), motor outcomes (balance, gait), and dual-task performance in older adults; however, most dual-task training involves simulated tasks that do not reflect functional dual tasks in the real world. Greater dual-task improvements could be seen when training functionally specific tasks. One way to increase task specificity is to offer real-life, contextually-relevant, dual-task training embedded in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a real-life dual-task training program for older adults at risk to fall compared to fall prevention education.

实验性的:Real-life Dual-Task Training
Six real-life dual-task training sessions with explicit focus on motor and cognitive components of instrumental activities of daily living. Training occurs with a licensed occupational therapist, and activity selection and grading is guided by the therapist and participant. |
The intervention is Real-life Dual-Task Training (Real-DTT) which uses instrumental activities of daily living training with explicit focus on the cognitive and motor elements and progressive complexity. A structured debrief is used to determine when to focus attention on cognitive vs. motor tasks in order to reduce fall risk. The Real-DTT sessions will be delivered once a week for 6 weeks and delivered by a licensed occupational therapist. Real-DTT is a modified version of occupational therapy, with a protocol tailored to the participants. |

大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Cognitive Dual-Task Effect
大体时间:Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14
|
Cognitive Dual-task Effect is a percent change from single to dual-tasking: ([dual-task-singletask]/single-task) *100. The cognitive condition is verbal fluency. The dual-task condition combines verbal fluency (cognitive) through the Timed Up & Go dual task. |
Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14
|
|
Motor Dual-Task Effect
大体时间:Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14
|
Motor Dual-task Effect is calculated as a motor percent changes from single to dual-tasking: ([dual-task-singletask]/single-task) *100. The percent change calculates the difference in time in seconds to complete the Timed Up & Go from single to dual-task. |

Performance-Based Assessment of Self-Care Skills
大体时间:Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14
|
The Performance-Based Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS) is a performance-based measure of activity performance. The PASS is validated for individual instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and therefore we will use the 14 physical emphasis IADLs, and the 4 cognitive emphasis IADLs. |
Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14

|
Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale
大体时间:Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14
|
A standardized 16-item self-report measure of balance confidence, scores range from 0-100% with higher scores indicating greater confidence in balance when performing various functional activities. |
Baseline, week 6-7, week 12-14

Acceptability of Intervention Measure
大体时间:week 12-14
|
The Acceptability of Intervention Measure is a self-report measure used for intervention feedback. The assessment is 4 questions in total scored 4-20 with greater scores indicating greater acceptability. |

Intervention Appropriateness Measure
大体时间:week 12-14
|
The Intervention Appropriateness Measure is a self-report measure used for intervention feedback. The assessment is 4 questions in total scored 4-20 with greater scores indicating greater appropriateness. |
